Day Breaks, Night Falls

Anne WenzelMhairi Sutherland

A huge focus for us during this exhibition was delivering major work through our ACNI funded ERA-Encouraging Relationships with Art project. We delivered guided tours and workshops (on and off-site) for over 200 people from active age groups, day centres and nursing homes. Funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Arts and Older People fund.

'HIDDENVOICES' – Exhibition in Process Room 'Hidden Voices' is a photographic exhibition delivered by Age NI and funded by ACNI Arts and Older People Programme. Age NI volunteers interviewed and photographed 110 participants on the subject of growing older in Northern Ireland.

Themes explored in these works include health, family, friendships & relationships, caring, living with a disability or illness and rural isolation.
